The colourful history of our Brook House Nursing Home

Brook House Nursing Home is situated in a peaceful residential area, radiating care and compassion in the heart of New Malden. The history of this purpose-built nursing home is intricately connected to the rich historical tapestry of its surroundings, mirroring the evolution of New Malden from its modest beginnings to the thriving community it stands as today.

Early roots and historic facts:

New Malden’s roots can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was documented as “Meldone,” signifying a place where mules were kept. The area underwent agricultural and rural development over the centuries, with a focus on farming and a modest population. By the late 19th century, the arrival of the railway transformed New Malden into a commuter suburb, attracting city workers seeking a peaceful retreat.

Railway expansion and urbanisation:

The expansion of the railway played a pivotal role in shaping New Malden’s destiny. The completion of the station in 1846 connected the area to London, fostering a surge in population growth and urban development. The Victorian era saw the emergence of elegant residential properties, contributing to the distinctive architectural character that still graces the town.

World War connections:

During World War II, New Malden played a significant role as a designated reception area for those evacuated from London. The community demonstrated resilience and solidarity during challenging times, leaving an indelible mark on the town’s spirit.

Post-war transformation:

In the post-war era, New Malden experienced further growth and modernisation. The demand for housing led to the development of new neighbourhoods, and the town evolved into a thriving suburban enclave, combining residential tranquillity with proximity to the city. Amidst its urbanisation, New Malden has preserved green spaces and parks. These areas provide residents and visitors with serene retreats, contributing to the town’s balance between urban development and natural beauty.

Contemporary New Malden:

Today, New Malden stands as a diverse and dynamic community, reflecting its rich history while embracing modernity. The town’s multicultural atmosphere is celebrated through a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural events. The verdant open spaces and parks offer a serene escape, creating a balanced and welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.
